Configuring an IP Address using DHCP and RARP
About DHCP and RARP
When the device server boots, it transmits a DHCP request and a RARP
request. This continues until an address is assigned.
Procedure
To use RARP or DHCP follow these steps:
1. Set up an entry for an address on a DHCP or RARP server. If you
intend to use RealPort, do the following:
• Reserve a permanent IP address.
• Record the IP address. You will need it when you configure the
RealPort driver.
2. Power on the device server.
The DHCP or RARP server assigns the device server an IP address.
